#Hash Tag Me

On the days

that you’re feeling pain,

please take a breath and breathe my brother.

Please take a breath and breathe my brother.

Stay with us.

Don’t go far away from us.

Please stay.

Please stay.

Please stay.

Please stay.

The revolution will be televised.

Told truthfully or not you have seen unarmed Black men and young boys die,

by the hands of the people you told us to put our trust in.

And when evidence is shown

that they continuously do us wrong,

You portray us as the criminals,

making it seem like you didn’t just kill me for walking down the wrong street

at the wrong time.

The verdict is you going home free of all charges.

While I am held in a confined box my mom had to put me in.

Buried six feet deep.

Mama I can’t see.

Mama I can’t believe.

Mama it’s too dark in here for me.

Mama I can’t breath.

They say stay focused.

I know it’s hard.

You lost one of your children,my God.

When will the world change?

How many more names?

This hashtag list getting longer,every single day.

Hashtag them.

Hashtag say their names.

Hashtag I hope the world realizes Black Lives Matter before another one ends.

Hashtag me.

My family's saying stay with us.

I wish I could.

I really wish I could.
